Janez Brajkovic on the many crashes in the first week: "Sorry to say that but its the GC teams that make this s...t" He's got a point #tdf

Yes, and that's because 3500k GT's nowadays potentially can be decided on seconds, which is totally wrong IMO. Bring back 60k+ TT, 100k TTTs and early 300k mountain stages to avoid this crazy riding by the GC guys on the stupid flat stages.

 

[Christian]

Jan Bakelants is targetting this stage

 

[Ferminal]

Holy moley, the BotD wasn't allowed to run!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Oh the good people of Velorooms taking credit for someone else's work, in this case ASO,



Exactly, pathetic really

 

[del1962]

Early break caught, can't see a break forming to downhill section completed.

 

[Ferminal]

Jens and Kadri off the front and someone Frank'ed the peloton (@julienpretotRTR 42s Vande Velde, EBH, in crash #tdf) so I guess they are away.

 

[TommyPlus]

2 good riders, I fear not enough numbers

 

[JRanton]

Four sky riders involved in the crash as well as Pinot and Moreno.

 

[Ferminal]

Yeh, with only two I see this being a full size bunch sprint, unless Europcar get angry on those two climbs (as I can't see Cannondale having the gumption to do so).

 

[Lance Armstrong]

They're not gonna make it. Tough day for OPQS and Lotto as Orica doesn't have to contribute and Cannondale is not interested.

 

[Cimber]

Four sky riders involved in the crash as well as Pinot and Moreno.

I hope everyone is ok

 

[TommyPlus]

Hopefully someone lights it up on the final Cat 3. FDJ perhaps.

 

[One Man Grupetto]

Please don't let this break stay away too long.

Not because I don't like or admire Jens, but because if I hear the 'shut up, legs' line being wheeled out by the commentators many more times then I will start to turn in on myself.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Go jens voight!

 

[RedheadDane]

Hahaha! Goes to read live-update: Jens in the break = made my day!

 

[JRanton]

Vande Velde abandons

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Not so good news for the Sky train. If half of them keep falling... including Porte now

 

[l.Harm]

Vande Velde again What a bad luck.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

lead now 5'15"

Not too shabby !

 

[AdreHoniball]

Impey is going to WIN le tour....

 

[cineteq]

what happened?

 

[Lanark]

Quintana was among the crash as well. That guy spend more time on the asphalt than on the bike the last couple of days.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

lol, another soft break goes within a few kms of "racing".

 

[Cimber]

****ing hell Quintana down again

 

[JRanton]

Not so good news for the Sky train. If half of them keep falling... including Porte now

Did Porte go down?
